06 Trailblazer SS 8040 miles. Tune and intake only. Ran consistent 13.5@ 102. Best of 13.1@ 104. Rwd #6 connection rod bolts were known to back out. Video is 3rd run of the night with drag radials. Really needed a converter..ie ran much better on stocks.
Last video is all 3 runs of the night from rear camera and friend in the stands..

+2 the shovel seemed a little unnecessary, unless you were really pissed off. Then it's totally justified!
I don't have any busted motor pics yet (Thank God!). 10 years of boating and nothing major has gone wrong (knocking on everything around me).
Our biggest repair was a gimble housing on a TRS outdrive, when parts were hard to get about 7-8 years ago. Back then Ebay wasn't really that popular, I wasn't on here, and there were too many TRS drives still in service to find cheap, good used parts. I think the repair was something like $14k with both drives rebuilt, both bearings replaced, a brand new housing from Merc (I think that alone was around $4k), and everything put back together. The ***** is the boat was only worth about $14k (1983 377 Scarab). Probably should have parted that one out and started over.
I do have some ridiculous pics of idiots pulling up their anchors in a storm and crashing into me. I think they're already in the Insurance and Finance section. I had three idiots hit me in one day!

No doubt! WHY was it crushed?! It seemed to be in one piece, I can't imagine anything happening to it that was unrepairable. Its just fiberglass! Thats sad to see.. Would have made one REALLY REALLY cool center console...
